Don't miss your chance to shape the future of AI policy in the U.S.
It’s not every day that regular folks like you and me have the opportunity to influence the course of history. But thanks to a recent request for comment from the U.S. government, we have the power to help shape the future of AI. That means you can tell Uncle Sam if you think it’s time to put the brakes on AI. Here’s how.
Speak up before the June 12 deadline
Robots are rapidly becoming ubiquitous in our society. Self-driving cars roam our streets and drones soar through the air. Virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa live in our homes.
Although automation is transforming how we live and work, we can still shape the future of AI. The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) wants your input. It wants to create policies to hold AI systems accountable and prevent harm.
To do this, NTIA recently shared an official Request for Comments (RFC). The administration wants your ideas. Voice your thoughts now on how to ensure our leaders use AI ethically.

But no one expected technology to bring back the dead. Thanks to VR, holograms and neural networks, it’s possible to resurrect dead actors and musicians to perform for our amusement. Tap or click to see Kim’s take on celebrity holograms.
